ANIMATION

​Soul Catcher: An Exploration Of The Nature Of Death

Picture
​Original concept, story, illustrations and animation by Christiana Broughton.

In my
work I explore mythology and abstract subjects such as life and death, using anthropomorphism and other symbolism to analyze the relationships humans have with these concepts. Combining these explorations through various digital media such as animation, illustration and robotics I create one interactive experience based on my own fabricated mythology about the afterlife.

Through my work viewers come face to face with my interpretation of death as represented by the three wolves, Obitus, Nex and Mortis. Each entity’s name, as well as its characteristics, are representations of different types of fatalities and are linked to how society perceives them, as well as being a representation of the mind, body and soul. The characters act as my own artist rendition of the Greek guardian of the underworld Cerberus, and inspired me to continue my studies of mythology.

The digital tools and software I use in my work help me strive to better understand these characters and help me to bring them further into reality, by giving them a history, creating a narrative of my characters’ creation and personality. Through mediums like animation and animatronics I explore how my characters move, react and interact to their surroundings. Through my work I intersect the world of the spirits with the world of the living.

As of now I am officially done with this version of my animation. I will certainly come back and update it once my animating and video editing skills improve some.
